Ultherapy® Prime: The latest in Tightening Technology
Ultherapy has gained rapid popularity for its unique ability to tighten, lift and smooth skin without the need for surgery or extensive downtime. But its ability to reinforce the skin’s supportive structures and stimulate collagen synthesis goes beyond what most patients expect.
Our new and improved Ultherapy Prime machine builds on our legacy of innovative treatment and beautiful results; now with vividly clear imaging to enhance your provider’s view of the skin’s layers to differentiate muscle, skin and fat for more precise results. Here’s what you may not know about Ultherapy Prime® and how it could benefit you and your aesthetic aspirations.
Ultherapy Prime® results are long lasting and continually improving outcomes build for months after treatment.
Most patients know that Ultherapy Prime can enhance the overall integrity of skin; but the long-lasting and continually activating outcomes continue for months after treatment. Ultherapy Prime works behind the scenes for the 3-6 months following treatment, producing new collagen and elastin to improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and laxity.
Ultherapy Prime® partners with your body’s natural healing processes.
Our bodies have an incredible ability to repair, heal and support the integrity of our skin and underlying musculature. It’s natural for collagen and elastin production to decline with age, but our bodies still have the ability to trigger collagen and elastin production. When your body experiences an injury or a signal that a targeted area needs reinforcement, collagen and elastin are activated and the healing processes get a green light. Ultherapy Prime uses this natural healing process through ultrasound imaging; focused energy tells the body “we need more collagen here” and the work of restructuring, cell turnover, and supporting the skin is done by your body’s natural processes. In this way. Ultherapy Prime acts as a wingman for your own body’s ability to restore and rebuild, and your own systems are doing the beautiful work of restoring skin quality and integrity you once had in natural supply.
Ultherapy Prime® targets the same tissues that a brow lift or facelift does.
Although Ultherapy Prime does not require downtime, injections or invasive surgery, it targets the same tissues as a surgical lift – the fascial, collagen-rich layer of skin. The natural regenerative response that Ultherapy Prime triggers generates a lift that can visibly transform the face and brow; patients who are older than 30 may be noticing mild skin laxity already, and patients in the decades past 30 can benefit from the elevating potential of the treatment.
That being said, Ultherapy Prime® can also treat the body.
Anyone over 30 can attest to the natural laxity that appears as we journey through life, and we all know this softening happens everywhere on the body, not just the face. Ultherapy Prime is effective on the forehead, brows, eyes, jawline, as well as the neck and decolleté. But it’s also able to lift and firm other areas including the abdomen, arms and legs. Your treatment specialist can customize the depth of the treatment to specifically target each area with your specific goals in mind, for a bespoke treatment.
We offer customized combination treatments to lift and enhance your complexion.
Tailoring a treatment plan that combines different modalities to optimize your outcomes is what makes your care with us so personal. Various modalities offer the potential to lift and tighten, all with specific applications and results. Ultherapy Prime can be combined with treatments like Tixel® and EMFACE® to maximize lifting, tightening and rejuvenating effects. If you’re new to these treatments, here’s how they differ and how we can combine their potential to create a beautiful result.
How are Tixel®, EMFACE® and Ultherapy Prime® the same?
All of these modalities share fundamental characteristics. They all:
- Provide non-surgical, non-invasive treatment options
- Utilize heat-based technology to activate the body’s natural healing response
- Stimulate natural collagen and elastin production
- Promote cellular renewal for improved skin appearance
How are Tixel®, EMFACE® and Ultherapy Prime® different?
Each treatment offers a specific method and depth of treatment:
- Ultherapy Prime uses ultrasound energy to stimulate regrowth and regeneration into the deeper layers of the skin, reaching up to 4.5mm deep. It’s designated to lift and tighten.Plus! The new Prime aspects of this Ultherapy upgrade speed up appointment times by 20%, and deliver the most comfortable treatment possible giving you natural-looking results in less time.
- Tixel® combines the innovative skin-tightening potential of treatments like Thermage® with the complexion-enhancing potential of treatments like microneedling. It works at a more superficial level (up to 0.35mm deep) and combines multiple benefits, making it particularly effective for treating delicate areas like the eye region. It can address texture issues, fine lines, and scarring.
- EMFACE® uses High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) in combination with synchronized radiofrequency (RF) to reinforce the facial muscle structures and improve skin texture and laxity. The result is a lifted face and brow, and a notable improvement in wrinkles and fine lines.
We begin each patient journey by understanding your values, concerns, lifestyle and goals to craft a treatment plan bespoke to you. Our 360° approach focuses on what matters most–helping you feel and look your best.
